Biography
Marc Gorum II is a chemistry major, with a mathematics and biology double minor, from Dover, Delaware. His career interest is to pursue a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences and to become a university professor and researcher. He has conducted two summer internships: one with the Naval Research Laboratory and the other with Solenis, both with the aim to further the development and efficiency of the polymer chemistry industry. He chose to attend Howard because he spent several years at predominately white schools and wanted to finally enjoy a learning environment with people who looked like him and shared similar experiences. Marc chose a career in the STEM field because of the potential to positively affect the lives of the Black community through chemical and biomedical means. He is an inaugural member of the Karsh STEM Scholars Program, a member of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., a member of the 1867 Undergraduate Program, and vice president of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
